Find the word democracy even once in our founding documents.

You are wrong, we are a Republic, not some stinkin socialist rat hole democracy.

Article I, Section 2:
“The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year,...”
“When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.”

Article I, Section 4:
“The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations,...”

Amendment XVII:
“The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.”

See all those elections by the people?

That’s democracy.
